OBLITERATED FAMILIES: Bringing the audience closer to the reality of life in Gaza

Please join JVP - DC Metro for a film screening of Obliterated Families, followed by a Q+A discussion with the filmmakers, Ala Qandil and Anne Paq.

Obliterated Families is an extremely compelling, award-winning multimedia web documentary that draws attention to the families from Gaza whose lives were shattered during the Israeli offensive in 2014. Blending together striking images, in-depth text, infographics, animations and short videos, the project is designed to bring the audience closer to the reality of life for Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.
